Test-firing of a Vickers machine gun.
Photo from The War Illustrated, 10 July 1915. Caption reads:
- After the mechanism of the Maxim has been examined and found efficient, the accuracy of the weapon is ascertained by firing at an open target at 600 yards. This is the final test, and having passed this, the weapon is regarded as fit for action. The machine-gun is an invaluable weapon in modern warfare and it has been said that a well-placed Maxim can hold up a brigade.
